Hi mod_perl and Perl users,
There is an international contest and comparison with scientific
evaluation about programming languages (and frameworks) for web
development.
<http://www.plat-forms.org/>
honestly, that contest looks ridiculously stupid and ill conceived.
any developer worth hiring knows that different languages/platforms/
frameworks are better suited for different tasks.
if you build '1 web application' under 20 languages / frameworks,
you're sure to have some frameworks handle it amazingly well -- and
others horrible -- all because of the design specs.
If you tweak the parameters of that application ever so slightly,
you'll easily flip the results.
You'll also run into issues where benefits/limitations aren't from
the languages themselves, but from frameworks built on top of them.
Honestly, i don't understand how someone could hope garner an
objective comparison of any two platforms by simply comparing a 30hr
project across different implementations.
